a leakdown IS NOT a compression test with a cap of oil in the chamber. That's a WET TEST. A Leakdown is application of pressurized air and monitoring how much pressure the cylibder holds, and where the air leaks through. Oil cap = rings. Rad cap = HG. TB or tailpipe, valves.

hes right you know. a leakdown tester is a unit with two gauges, one for psi going into the cylinder and one for compression, and you basically look for bubbles in coolant or listen for where air is escaping.
sorry brian just felt like stickin it to ya:thumbsup

ding ding ding, we have a winner.
110 definately sounds low, I would try it with another tester. All the cylinders being that bad is kind of surprising.

what elevation are you at that changes alot with air density..
and try another tester.
You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.
If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good. If you want it cheap and good, it's not going to be fast. If you want it good and fast, it's not going to be cheap.

I, the humble choad, bow down to the wisdom radiating from the omnipotent 2GNT patriarch.
You never know you don't know until someone tells you so. Thanks sir. :thumsbup
